Each week the Cathedral provides three daily Masses and six Sunday Masses. Over half ofthose attending are from other parishes and cities. Annually, the Cathedral provides50,000 to 60,000 lunches to the poor and homeless.

A softball size piece of the Cathedral’s façade recently fell to the front steps of the Basilica below. Fortunately no one was hurt. However, investigators found cracks and gaps in the limestone façade and determined that the entire façade is in need of repair.Work has already begun.
